We absolutely love hearing about design that transforms lives. This beautiful Lilypad House in Sydney by <a href="http://jorgehrdina.com.au/">Jorge Hrdina Architects</a> has given its wheelchair-bound owner a calm new lease on life. Not only is the sweeping day-lit home easy to navigate, but it is also encircles a sunny courtyard that places nature on the center stage.
